Try before you buy
If you’re stuck in a beauty rut or simply don’t know what to choose, Feelunique offers a range of great ways to sample products without any commitment, letting you try out something new and exciting and figure out what’s right for you.
With the Try Me option, you get to experience the latest and greatest beauty products without worrying that you’ll get stuck with something you don’t love. Each product is delivered with a matching complimentary sample, so you can test it out before opening the full size. If it’s not for you, you can return the main product free of charge.
Customers also love the zero-risk Pick and Mix deal, which lets you choose up to five different free samples to try out at home. All you have to do is pay a minimal £3.95 shipping and handling fee, which you get back as a gift voucher to redeem on your next purchase. Or if you want beauty in your post box every month, another hugely successful program is the subscription Beauty Box, which lets you pick the products you’ve been dying to try and build a box of deluxe samples delivered straight to your door at a significant discount.
It’s no surprise customers keep coming back. Feelunique is all about the rewards. For every £40 you spend, you get treated to a basket bonus of two free samples of your choosing at checkout. You’ll also get 10% off the two brands you love most, gift vouchers for £5 towards your next purchase when you spend £75, student discounts, and 20% off for your birthday. And for just £9.95, you can get an entire year of unlimited next-day delivery.
The beauty of community
Feelunique is partnered with Toiletries Amnesty, a charity that works across the U.K. and abroad to alleviate hygiene poverty and reduce beauty waste by connecting donors who have spare or unused toiletries with people who need them most.
“In 2019 alone we helped get toiletries to over 250,000 people,” says Amnesty founder Karen Harvey, “and to date we’ve provided help to over a million people across the U.K. and beyond, whilst diverting thousands of tonnes of toiletries waste from landfill.”
Over the next year, Feelunique has pledged to raise £30,000 to help extend Toiletries Amnesty’s reach. That means it can work with even more homeless shelters, hostels, women and children’s refuges, mental health services, family centres, food banks, refugee support groups, NHS Trust services, schools, prison services, and other community groups to break the social stigma around access to personal care products and improve the well-being of thousands in need. (You can donate your own toiletries or learn more about getting involved here.)
As a company, Feelunique is also dedicated to creating a culture of diversity and inclusion, which means it’s committed to a workplace that reflects its core values. That includes recruiting, retaining, and developing diverse talent across a spectrum of gender, ethnicity, age, sexuality, ability, social class, education, and experience. It also means increasing representation of women in senior management roles, which is now at 50%, including the female CEO at the top, Sarah Miles. The same commitment applies to increasing representation and support for brands from all backgrounds and communities, and offering products for all skin tones and hair types.
Feelunique also makes it easy to shop with purpose with its sustainable Conscious Beauty section, which includes everything from vegan and cruelty-free brands to products with natural ingredients.
